Kings of Leon Live !

just saw their show last night in Vancouver, it was outstanding. if they're coming to your town don't miss it.
They played every hit flawlessly, with a beautiful light show above.

I caught them at lollapalooza in chicago it was a good show also saw them a couple years ago, i love thier old stuff thier new stuff is ok but they do rock live jus as good as their cd.

hmm, just OK, wow. My pick for best album of the year. Might want to give that one an extra listen.
l saw them indoors in the Canucks arena which has great acoustics. Caleb commented that the place was just like a club. The only show I've seen to equal it was the Eagles on their Hotel California tour

Just heard that the boy's will be releasing a DVD this fall of a live performance in London last year plus a CD of remixes by other artists of their stuff, I heard a preview of one of them, very interesting stuff indeed.

Seen them in ireland twice at oxegen baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

apparently they're a lot more popular in Europe than here but that's changing fast.
(addendum: That remix was "Pistils of Fire" and I believe the mixer was Mick Ronson)

I was at Lolla as well nuggz, and they played a pretty good set. I saw them earlier this year at a smaller outdoor amphitheater, as well as at a really small indoor venue in Columbus, OH about 3 years ago.

Totally agree--I LOVE the old stuff and am satisfied with the new stuff. Kinda sucks that they've had 3 AMAZING albums before this new one and just now people are noticing who they are...

My favorite song on the new album is Manhattan. My favorite song period is Slow Night, So Long. Ahh just thinking about those shows brings back awesome memories!!!!

Glad to hear you liked the show frmrboi...its amazing how good they sound live!

You guys familiar at all with Vampire Weekend, The Cold War Kids, Bloc Party, Band of Horses, TV on the Radio, Ra Ra Riot...

If you like Kings of Leon I would give these bands a try! I can give you some songs to try out if interested.

I have no way of grabbing them on a public computer but I'll keep that in mind, right now my goal is to get the raunchier older albums as they played some stuff I've only heard a couple of times.
I remember Manhattan only by the beautiful light show above stage, a hi-def wrap around screen that was a helicopter camera view of the Manhattan skyline at night.
Jimi Hendrix was an unknown until he became a hit in London, then North America noticed him.

closer is there best song to me
